Coco Gauff's Wimbledon Run Comes to An End, Still Draws Praise on Social Media

Coco Gauff spent her first week at Wimbledon looking like the future of American tennis as she took out Venus Williams, among others en route to the fourth round. Her second week, however, lasted just a few hours—Gauff fell to seventh-seeded Simona Halep Monday morning, 3-6, 3-6, ending her run on the grass at the All-England Club.

After beating Polona Hercog to set up a Round of 16 battle with Halep, Gauff got plenty of attention of social media, with everyone from Michelle Obama to Joel Embiid chiming in to congratulate the Floridian on a comeback that took nearly three hours.
